      Directions

      Making the broth: Put the chicken pieces and parsley in a large stockpot. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 2 hours.

      Line a strainer with cheesecloth and strain. Put the broth in a clean pot on low heat. Skim off the top. Season with sea salt and pepper. Pick out the good chicken meat from the cheesecloth and set aside.

      Making the pasta: Into a food processor, add the unbleached flour and eggs. Pulse until crumbly. Take the dough out and place on a floured surface. Knead the dough until silky, about 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

      Roll out the dough by hand, or using a pasta machine, until about 1/8-inch thick. Slice into lengths the size of the baking dish.

      Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

      Making the lasagna: Place a layer of pasta, then some mozzarella, Parmigianno, chicken meat and a ladle of broth. Repeat three times. Finish with a top layer of cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown on top, about 30 minutes.

      Plate the lasagna in a shallow bowl, add a ladleful of broth and enjoy.

        Amazing! Everyone in my house loves this so I put it into regular rotation. I used thighs and dried parsley. I also used boxed noodles, just soaked them in warm water for 20 minutes and put them in as instructed. The flavor is similar to chicken and dumplings.

        I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I didn't make the noodles from scratch this time because I didn't have time, but I will in the future. I was delighted on how much flavor this dish had with such simplicity of ingredients. Definitely will make again. Love Nadia G!

        LOVE THIS! I used the no boil lasagna noodles and therefore covered the pan with foil for the first part of cooking. This was fabulous, easy, and everyone in the house wants it again ASAP.
